The production of root carving should emphasize "three carvings and seven borrowings" and shape with heart. No matter what source material and theme you create, you must abide by this principle. The method of carving should be "three carvings and seven grindings", that is, the grinding method that imitates the natural shape of the root is the main method, supplemented by a small amount of local carving, so that the carved grinding part can be integrated with the root shape as much as possible without revealing the traces of carving.

Root art creation has certain uniqueness. His creation must respect the natural form of the root, explore its natural beauty, try not to artificially destroy its natural form, and then use his imagination to find an idea that can reflect the natural beauty of the root. The basic method of root carving creation is to reflect real life with exaggeration, fantasy and abstraction. Specifically, he said, it is to make a comprehensive and detailed observation of the selected root materials and make ingenious ideas. Make use of its shape, texture, knots, bumps, curves, holes and other natural abnormal gestures to make a bold idea of combining reality with reality.

Root carving tea table pays attention to natural interest and practical value, while root carving tea table processing is a combination of experience and aesthetic feeling. Because there are many kinds of roots, the master of root carving must be experienced, otherwise the cavity for drinking tea on the table will be repaired too much after the roots are cut open, which will affect the appearance. An experienced root carving tea table master usually observes the roots carefully before making them, and makes them repeatedly until the design scheme is mature. In the production process, we must constantly adjust the plan. The basic principle is that the whole coffee table should not be spliced under the condition that the countertop is clean and generous, so that such works have more integrity and collection value. For many tree roots with tumors, try to keep the natural characteristics of tumors when making root carving tea table, or try to show the patterns of tumors on the tea table. Generally, there is little or no carving on the tea table with rich forms of root carving, but it can also be carved locally on ordinary materials to achieve the effect of harmony between man and nature.

You can cut off or saw off some unnecessary branches, then remove the bark, cut off the extra roots, process the cross section of the torch into a natural cave, and process the convex surface into a tumor to achieve the effect of natural beauty. We should use abstract, exaggerated and hazy images to reflect the natural image of roots. Some roots are not full, you can choose the same root material for splicing, and the technique should be delicate and leave no traces.

3. Polishing, coloring and painting

Use coarse emery cloth to polish the root material, smooth the scar, and then use fine emery cloth to polish the surface to make it bright and recognizable. When grinding with emery cloth, the force should be even to avoid destroying its original color and texture, and the kerf should be polished smoothly. Coloring and painting root carving works is not only beneficial to corrosion prevention, dust prevention and moth prevention, but also can strengthen its artistic wood effect.

4. Material selection

In order to make the works have good appreciation and practicability, the selection of raw materials is very important.

Root wood mainly comes from two aspects: one is picking from hillsides, roadsides and terraces; Choose from farmers' firewood piles and discarded piles and roots in the garden. The second is to buy from the market. In addition, the selection of roots mainly starts from the material and shape of roots. The variety and hardness of the material are good; The shape is the most distinctive, such as dead roots. Choose some roots with complex morphology, so that more propositions can be found.

Be careful not to damage the root material and destroy the texture. Many root artists have their own peeling methods. As long as the wood is not damaged or damaged less, producers do not have to stick to the above methods. Sometimes you can use it without peeling or keeping a part of the epidermis according to your creative needs.
